I enjoyed this book, but there were some issues I had with it. For one, a lot of side characters and plot elements kind of get picked up when it’s convenient and then set back down again for an indefinite amount of time.  Tripp’s mom, for example. She kind of just vanished two thirds of the way into the book even though she was part of the main conflict. 

There's this reporter guy who’s supposedly trying to make it look like Tripp and his friends are guilty of murder, and the set up in the first half made it seem like this would be a much bigger issue. But then it just isn’t. Nothing happens at all. 

Also, this author has her character profiles and just recycles them for new books, or at least it seems like that sometimes. She really likes the “deadbeat mom is back in town” trope too.
